International audience. Introduction To investigate the relationship between collaterals and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability on pre-treatment MRI in a cohort of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with thrombectomy. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of the HIBISCUS-STROKE cohort, a single-center observational study that enrolled patients treated with thrombectomy from 2016 to 2022. Dynamic-susceptibility MRIs were post-processed to generate K2 maps with arrival-time correction, which were co-registered with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. The 90th percentile of K2 was extracted from the infarct core-defined by an ADC <= 620 x 10(-6) mm(2)/s with manual adjustments-and expressed as a percentage change compared to the contralateral white matter. Collaterals were assessed using pre-thrombectomy digital subtraction arteriography with an ASITN/SIR score < 3 defining poor collaterals. Results Out of 249 enrolled, 101 (40.6%) were included (median age: 72.0 years, 52.5% of males, median NIHSS score at admission: 15.0). Patients with poor collaterals (n = 44) had worse NIHSS scores (median: 16.0 vs 13.0, p = 0.04), larger infarct core volumes (median: 43.7 mL vs 9.5 mL, p < 0.0001), and higher increases in K2 (median: 346.3% vs 152.7%, p = 0.003). They were less likely to achieve successful recanalization (21/44 vs 51/57, p < 0.0001) and experienced more frequent hemorrhagic transformation (16/44 vs 9/57, p = 0.03). On multiple variable analysis, poor collaterals were associated with larger infarct cores (odds ratio (OR) = 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): [1.07, 1.17], p < 0.0001) and higher increases in K2 (OR = 6.63, 95% CI: [2.19, 20.08], p = 0.001). Conclusion Poor collaterals are associated with larger infarct cores and increased BBB permeability at admission MRI.
